    • Who told you that we elect Presidents for Lusakans only instead of meeting us also in our townships and villages? ECL is doing Great!

    • LT Bloggers should also have a minimum of G12 certificate so that others can defect to ZWD. As if God left out brains from your heads.

  1. He is panicking. Enjoy your last travel allowance before you spend your retirement days going to court for unaccounted actions and poor decisions

    • You should be asking the Hungry Hyena
      The Mr Privitisation, Liquidator how he find
      Himself with that stinking wealth.
      And made the poor citizens lifes so measurable
      Disgustly Pathetic

  2. Every week this utterly Lazy Bum Edgar is on a working visit somewhere with the whole of PF using GRZ resources ..never has this bum commented on the Economy or Corruption…what a disgrace!!

    • @jayjay, you must understand that this clueless clown knows nothing about the economy and condones the massive corruption.

      What he does know is that if he says anything on these items in public his ignorance and dullness will be laughed at until people collapse!

      This so called President is a joke! Unfortunately it is not at all funny for millions of struggling Zambians that have to pay for his dishonesty and greed.

  3. That’s why bantu bamutaba chifukwa cha unnecessary expenditure, nanga ma minister bachita commission chani, under unip and mmd we have seen alot of pracks bearing names of ministers, mayors has people who officially commissioned or opened such and such institution or project, under ba changwa every project will bear his name even most of them that have already been commissioned.

  4. Freedom park in Kitwe is an old construction that suffered occupational fatality and was abandoned. It was beaten to speed of construction, by Mukuba Mall. The owners are no longer keen in constructing the mall because of its proximity to the newly opened Mukuba mall. As it would make no business sense. They had hoped to change the plans into the hotel, but still fighting to change building plans.

  5. Really, when does the President sit down at his desk to think, meet his advisers, officials, assess socioeconomic matters and hopefully produce a blue-print for where the nation is, and where it is going? Perhaps even give a ‘state of the nation’ address? Instead he is gallivanting continuously commissioning so-called development projects. Things that can be mentioned in passing by a deputy mayor or the so-called district commissioner. Opening a mall? To vend goods which we do not even produce? The infrastructure we need are manufacturing industries using local materials, modernize the rail system including rolling stock, communications and information technology systems for social statistics and data, water, sanitation and sewerage as well as sustainable energy. Things that will…

    • Harold,

      Even I do not get it. What is the point of all this commissioning of things by the same person? Shopping mall? My foot! Who is advising this guy?

      Surely, he has far more important work to do. All the things you have mentioned including some charity work to help the impoverished Zambians.

      Both he and his wife seem to be all over the shop. I guess earning allowances. If only it weren’t so tragic.

      These trips with the entourage must cost quite a bit.

  6. @ cha cha cha – Or perhaps its a way of running away from what he can’t handle? Burying his head in the sand.
